johnandkymberley Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Our hen, Phlox was walking around and aswell a few of them were doing this in the sun (picture below) and they were flapping their wings and laying on their sides. Is this because they are hot and are trying to cool themselves down or is there another reason? Thanks Edited May 22, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
